Sad that the strokers are disappearing off the face of the racing earth. After watching the start of the Motostar race at Oulton the other week, I realised how big a loss the tiddlers will be. Such a great sound and a lovely smell with it. The Moto3 bike that was in the race sounded like a flat wet fart in comparison.

The dumbest thing about the changeover to four strokes is the way that the powers that be have now rewritten history. They have claimed on several occasions that prior to 2002 GP500 was a class for two strokes. The rules never stipulated two strokes only, the simple fact was that by the mid seventies four strokes could no longer compete. Even when Honda tried they couldn't manage it.
